Description
We shall explore the very heart of Cambridge, where new and old look out at us from every nook and cranny – hear stories of medieval strife and riots, struggles and labours of many a generation of students and scholars, and triumphs of the human thought. On our way, we shall discuss how ideas and life itself have changed over centuries and what today’s Cambridge is like – both the City and the University. The tour includes a visit to a non-charging college that is currently open to visitors and such sights as St.Bene’t’s Church, the Eagle pub, the departments on Free School Lane and the New Museums Site, and the Mathematical Bridge.
